Joe Fulton this car in the Los Angeles area about 10 years ago from the daughter of the original owner.  The car had been garaged and good care had been taken. It had skinny white wall tires, hubcaps and only 52,000 miles on it.  The vinyl top was beginning to fail and the original Daisy Yellow paint had begun to fade.  This great looking Javelin has a 304 V8 with the 998 auto transmission, A/C, power steering and manual drum brakes.  Joe cleaned it up under the hood, put powdercoated 15-inch wheels on it, replaced the carpet and had it repainted in the factory color, then had the vinyl top replaced.  Joe is looking forward to driving it to work one or two days a weeks.

He had a doorknob stuck in the trunk lock, a stove poker bolted to the hood latch and red reflectors in the spinner holes on the hubcaps. Luckily he saved the spinners and hood ornament. The car had only 50,000 miles when it was found. Gordon has only changed the timing gears and rebuilt the carb .The engine runs like a top and the Marlin  has 76,000 since 1995.

 In October of 1998  Kevin &  Jennifer Wright  went to the My Classic Car show in Evansville, Indiana. They saw a few AMC cars there and started talking about how nice it would be to have their own AMC car again. They heard about Jim Webb's AMC Classic Auto Parts and went to look at a few of his AMC cars he had for sale. They looked at a Javelin, AMX and Ambassador but they were not what they really wanted. They walked into a different part of the building and there it was a, 1965 Marlin, Sea Side Aqua and Frost White exterior and two tone green interior. It has a 287 V8, automatic, with power steering and power brakes. As soon as they saw it, they knew they wanted it.  After buying the car, on the 30 hour drive home they received so many looks and thumbs up that it was unbelievable. Kevin nad Jen took it to a body shop to have some body work done and a new paint job, and some mechanical work. They have taken the Marlin to quite a few shows in the last several years, and  have been very fortunate to win quit a few plaques and trophies. But they say the most fun of all is talking to all the people that stop by to look at the car. Kevin can be reached via email: Kevin Wright

This is Kim and Jill Bergs 1965  one color (Seaside Light Aqua) Rambler Marlin. Equipped with the 287  2bbl, column automatic this 44000 original mile Marlin was a great find. Kim writes "It is a very nice specimen, only the headliner allows it to show its age."  Kim and Jill decided to leave the car completely original to them ( the initial owner had the radio delete panel replaced with a x-brand radio/cassette player. Oh well.   For contact information see Kim and Jills 58 Ambassador above.

1965 This is a photo of  Wendy and Russell Dutcher's 1965 Rambler Marlin, 287 Cu. in., automatic. This Marlin is from Wyoming and the Dutchers beleive it always has been a Wyoming car.  They say "it runs incredibly well" (of coarse, it's a Rambler) and "has absolutely no rust on it."  They want to have it re-painted as it has plenty of chips and it is faded over the years.  For 40 year old paint, it still looks pretty good.  The Dutchers can be reached via email: Wendy and Russell, and would love to hear from other Rambler owners.

This picture is of Stan Kelly's favorite Rambler (he has 22!), however, he loves them all.  This is a 1965 Rambler Marlin (Antiqua Red and Classic Black). Stan purchased it on June 17, 1973 at the ripe old age of 16.  He still  has the car and drives it regularly.  It has attended a number of  AMCRC meets including the 2005 AMCRC National Meet in Sacramento, the  2001 AMCRC National, the 1999 AMCRC meet in Ocean Shores, and number of annual  Ocean Shore and AMC Rendevous. Stan has logged approx 300K miles in the 33 years he has owned this Marlin. It's a very nice driver and shows quite well, but it usually doesn't win best of show, however, it does win a lot of long distance awards. Stan is president of the Pacific Gold Rush Ramblers and has been involved with AMCRC for about 12 years.  For more information on Stan, his cars, or just to chat Ramblers, click on the picture of his car on the right.

1965 Ray Rotuna's wife Judy was responsible for the purchase of their 1965 Rambler Marlin. It was her Christmas present to him a few years ago.  During the bidding process, Ray's regular monthly Hemmings Motor News arrived to their home, and as he was leafing through the auction section he noticed a 1965 Red Marlin listed. Coincidentally the write up on that Marlin was very similar to the seller’s on EBay.  It didn’t take much investigation to discover that it was truly the same car!  The auction ended, the reserve not me, no one purchased the Marlin. Ray contacted the seller, worked out  their best deal, had the Marlin inspected by a professional shop, confirmed the purchase with his wife’s blessing, and contracted to have it shipped in from the mid-west.  The day it arrived, they were not displeased!  The Red Rambler Marlin was quite the car with 38,000 miles and in almost perfect condition.  With the exception of incorrect shocks and a few burnt out light bulbs, it was absolutely beautiful.  The 232 Six runs out perfectly.  The power brakes are a plus and manual steering is no problem. Ray says "the memories fly as we go about to car shows and outings, as 1965 had both of us in high school.  It is a true joy to own both a 1959 Rambler Rebel Cross Country Wagon and the 1965 Rambler Marlin.  Magnificent cars in their own class!"

1967 Johan bought this 1967 Marlin from Lewis & Kay Brown in Orbisonia Pennsylvania in 1997. The car is a low mileage car (57,000 miles) and it's in  very good condition. It was repainted some 15 years ago in the original color scheme. There had been four US owners before Johan purchased it. This is one of two 1967 Marlins in Sweden and it gets a lot of attention whenever it's taken it out for a ride. The car was purchased new at Clearwater Rambler in Clearwater Florida on 10-16-1967. Factory price was $ 2963.  The car is equipped with a 155 bhp 232 2bbl six, and column shift automatic. It has power steering and a after market under dash air conditioning unit. Johan uses this Marlin mainly as a show and cruise car and he loves to take it for a ride just for fun. Johan says "It's a great road car and you can go 70 mph, hour after hour with out getting tired, and it has great gas mileage too". This past summer Johan drove his brother in law and his bride to their wedding in the Marlin.  Sure beats a Limo!!  Johan can be contacted at :amc_johan@hotmail.com Sweden
